Scarce in Britain and Ireland.
Summary: has been recorded on various deciduous and coniferous/evergreen trees and bushes. Lienhard (1998) noted that the species prefers humid conditions (such as riverine woodlands) and the environment may be more important than the specific tree species.
Associations:
- Deciduous branches: apple, ash, oak, sallow and sycamore.
- Deciduous trunks: beech.
- Conifer/evergreen branches: ivy and sitka spruce.
Sampling techniques: beating branches and brushing tree trunks.
